Once upon a time
A young man got up to play
So many things
The young man wanted to say

It used to be so special
I used to be so proud
I used to be so lonely
I'm so much lonelier now

Once upon a time
A young man got up to play
So many things
The young man wanted to say

He didn't care who listened
And what he had to pay
Somehow he made the wrong move
And made it go away

Chorus

It's the same old story
A young man on the run
He maybe sorry
But the damage has been done
Makin' the same mistakes too many times
He thought it would be ok
Looking inside only to find
The spirit had gone away

Chorus

I'm lonelier now
I'm lonelier now
I'm lonelier now
I'm lonelier now
